Not sure what to say?

Jane, I'm so sorry for your loss. Celia

Always looked forward to meeting with John and Jane. For all his success, he was a humble man who was enjoyable to be around.

I have so many wonderful childhood memories of your dad. Lots of summers picking corn and blueberries. Great meals around your dinner table. Playing monopoly. Going to your softball games. He always has that big grin on his face, just like in the photo. I'll continue to cherish these memories and carry them with me. All my love to you and your family, now and always.

He is the kindest person I have ever known. We only knew John a short time, and I am sorry we did not have more precious time. He will be missed, a true friend, indeed! Love Tony and Lynda

I had worked with John since 1994 when I began to work for FSA. John became a good friend. He was honest to a fault in all of the business dealing we had. A kind hearted, caring person, believed in helping his family and friends in any way possible. A strong leader in his community. Strong supporter of Tidewater Academy. He will be missed by everyone who's life he touched. May God watch over his family and help heal their pain during this time of sorrow.

To the Stephenson Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of loss. John was a great guy.
May God surround you with his love.
With love,
Celia Parsons & Dianne Gwaltney

So sad to hear the passing of John.
He was a wonderful man with a positive outlook on life, full of energy and always had a smile on his face.
I/we enjoyed for many years of trying to one up each other in our game of "REPENT" fist raise! Your family knows what this is about because you all got involved in it!
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless.

John was a fine person to do business with and an all around great man.
